Keane - Perfect Symmetry
Once tagged as Coldplay’s little brothers, Keane have grown into masters of their own emotive-pop sound. Pianist Tim Rice-Oxley’s songs have evolved from sunny, uplifting anthems on Hopes and Fears to darker, edgier fare on Under the Iron Sea and he remains one of Britain’s hookiest composers. And singer Tom Chaplin’s soaring tenor is still a thing of undeniable beauty. Keane’s third album maintains that high standard on 11 tracks of exquisitely melancholic pop, including the irresistible “The Lovers are Losing.”
